Katherine Hepburn by Everett Raymond

Historian Amy Henderson discusses Katherine Hepburn's Oscars and portrait by Everett Raymond Kinstler.
In 2009, the National Portrait Gallery acquired Hepburns four Oscar statuettes as a gift from the Katharine Hepburn estate. They are now on view in the Twentieth-Century Americans gallery on the museums third floor, next to a 1982 portrait of Hepburn by artist Everett Raymond Kinstler, which she termed her favorite.
Hepburn won Best Actress Academy Awards for "Morning Glory," 1933; "Guess Whos Coming to Dinner," 1967; "The Lion in Winter," 1968; and "On Golden Pond, 1981."
